Member Testimonials

It’s clean and my child loves the kids club

I love the indoor track. The group fitness classes a great. And, the variety of classes means there's always something new to try.

Padded walking .

Staff is very attentive and helpful to members. My son talks with staff often and he knows that staff will interact with him anytime he comes up to the front desk.

I enjoy the ease of taking classes and working out. Great variety of offerings.

Everyone is nice and helpful!

It is a great place and I enjoy its programs. The website is not the easiest to navigate.

We are new menbers and anticipate using the amazing pool and bringing our grandkids...

We love the pool! Please continue to keep it heated. It’s a much needed escape from the cold!

They fit y needs!

I love the clean, bright atmosphere, the teachers are great and the staff is always so helpful at the front desk, in the mornings. I love my pilates. Class and my teacher Pam. I have been healing from a broken wrist these past few weeks and my longtime classmates encouraged me to not quit, but come and do what I could. My teacher made accommodations for me and I am doing well. My doctors told me I’m ahead of schedule because I exercise and am responding quickly. Thanks to my classmates, teachers and support staff. You have helped me turn a bad accident into a blessing.

Love the facility! Enjoy the classes. Never thought I would go to the gym five days a week at 65+ but I enjoy it that much!

I love your access and your Pilates programs. I would love to see more Pilates and yoga classes during times available to those who work.

I love the programs available. The people are super friendly and helpful. Facility is clean and a good environment.

Good equipment

The Saturday morning 9 AM water aerobics class needs at least one of not two extra lines. We had close to 30 people on Saturday and got the life guard to open up another lane about half way through the class but the other lane would have helped a lot more. It was very crowed we were hitting each other etc.

This is a great facility and the aquatic program is outstanding.

Good staff.

I like how clean the facilities and weight room is.

I love Whitaker Y. The pool water has been cold for the last 2 weeks. Nobody wants to report it because nothing will be done.

Whitaker Gym in Hamburg, Lexington, KY has an amazing selection of classes and times that will fit everyone's busy schedules. The staff is knowledgeable, warm and helpful in all ways--always willing to answer questions and provide support. I appreciate how clean, well-lit, and well-staffed the facility is, and I've been a fan of Erica Hill's Functional Fitness class for two years now and have made a number of workout friends. Great facility and staff!

Whether you are into classes, water or weight training -- Whitaker YMCA has it! Not to mention the basketball/pickleball courts.

Update: The weight training floor has been updated with new equipment. "Easier" to use equipment includes rep counters and timers, including time between sets. From a subjective view, the equipment appears sleeker, there are more machines and the floor has been slightly redesigned to move equipment for upper and lower body exercises closer together. All this means a more organized circuit and less time waiting on machines to free up.

I love the amenities at Whitaker YMCA and plenty of parking. Everyone is so friendly there

Facility

Pool, wellness center, scheduled classes

I really appreciate the people who work there. As soon as you enter the building and while
getting your card scanned there is always a "hello" and a "how are you" from the people like
Mary and Ron and Kristen. And then when you enter the weight room, Jeff is always
available to help with explanation how to use the machines (especially the new ones)
and always has a smile and greeting for you.

So for me it is the people that I like about the Y....you can have the best machines, the
best pools, and clean restrooms (which the Y Whitaker has) but if you have to be
subjected to grumpy people, it would not be a good place to go to...

So thank you for a wonderful Y!!

Indoor pool for the kid, steam room, sauna, child care

I mainly play Pickleball and use the aquatic center at the Y. The facility is always clean. We have a great group for Pickleball, usually getting 25-30 players. We need more courts and extended time. Often we have to give up Pickleball courts to allow 3 or 4 people to use the gym to play basketball.

friendly environment and clean gym
